Eric Dolphy in Europe

I really need to do another serious post on Eric Dolphy.  I think that Dolphy is one of the great geniuses of his period and that, had he lived longer, he might have rivaled Trane.  Here is a previous post that might be of interest to anyone interested in Dolphy. 

Tonight I chanced to listen to 'Laura' from Eric Dolphy in Europe, Vol. 2.  I am playing it on my station.  Here is the lineup: 

• Alto Saxophone – Eric Dolphy
• Bass – Erik Moseholm
• Drums – Jorn Elniff
• Piano – Bent Axen

The band is lackluster, but that hardly matters.  Dolphy's playing is all that one could imagine and more.
